Hi HELIOS Heros I Wish This For The Next HELIOS Release The situation is as follow: I like to create a HELIOS Profile where my touch input is on top of some instruments and therefore must be transparent, the problem is that it is not possible to make an user .png image transparent and the use it as the button... only the text of the button is the click able... and i do not need to have text on this area. So: A "ButtonArea" and still able to show a "Fill Color" when pushed is what I need... that can be fully transparent.... This would be awesome if you guys can implement this. Thanks for your support to the community with your work.

A finale Question If i want to go for UDP..... I have to change BIOSConfig.lua - anywhere else ??

NOW THAT's A GOOD SPOT - NOW I'M FLYING Thanks alot

Still no contact.... well if you don't have a clue after this - then i will dig out an old win 7 pc and try again Thanks Frank

No - same same

got it . thank - it was some how deleted - I'll continue the "play" and i do not need to have an Arduino board connected to get DCS-BIOS "live-data" to work in Chrome - or ?? Thanks

Ian I still don not have a file like this !!!!

And one more thing - this file "connect-to-serial-port.cmd" is NOT in my folder !!!

I do not have a Arduino connected Yet - !!!! Win 10 No Virus Protection No firewall

BIOSConfig: BIOS.protocol_io.connections = { BIOS.protocol_io.DefaultMulticastSender:create(), -- BIOS.protocol_io.TCPServer:create(), BIOS.protocol_io.UDPSender:create({ port = 7777, host = "239.255.50.10" }), BIOS.protocol_io.UDPListener:create({ port = 7778 }) }

hehe - thanks Exo7 - Do you have any idea what i need to do ? Thanks for your help Frank Export.lua: dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

and still no contact to Chrome Live Data ! the dcs-bios.log writes line like this value -117.000000 is too small for address 1028 mask 63 value .............. etc.

THX - now i checked and fixed - now it looks like this === Log opened UTC 2016-02-10 19:47:09 00000.000 INFO VFS: Using 'Saved Games': "C:\Users\FAR\Saved Games" 00000.000 INFO DCS: DCS/2.0.1.49921
